[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Because Sirius and Lily are both Gryffindors, the members of Avalon naturally entrusted him with the task of officially inviting Lily, but the relationship between Sirius and Lily in Gryffindor basically belongs to everyone except everyone. Zhou took the notes on the history of magic handed over by Lily on his own initiative, and there was no other type of communication, so he transferred this "heavy task" to Lynn in private.

It was another Saturday night, Lynn pushed open the door of the empty classroom on the second floor, and saw Lily inside alone.She looked around and asked, "Lily, why are you alone today, where is Snape?"

"Maybe Malfoy is entangled again." Lily replied to Lynn while writing and drawing in the potion book.

When Lynn interacted with Snape in private, she often heard him complain about Miss Malfoy. Thinking of this, she said with some incomprehension: "Actually, I really don't understand why Snape looks down on Malfoy so much. Malfoy Foo is hard to say to others, but I think she treats Snape really well. Snape is like this, he really doesn't know what to do." Lynn didn't know that Edith had forced Lily not to be alone with Snape. The meeting, but because I was a Squib in my previous life, I felt a bit of sympathy for Edith, who had hardly shown any magic power in the first grade.

"Don't say that about Severus," Lily said a little unhappy, "Severus is not bad in nature, it's just... just a little stricter, especially when it comes to potions." How many times have people said it.

"You will always speak well for him. Does he have no shortcomings in your heart?" Lynn has always wondered why a sunny and beautiful girl like Lily would choose to be friends with Snape.

"Of course not, just like he scolded Mary before, I was angry with him for several days." Lily refuted with facts very unconvinced.

Lynn also remembered what happened last year, and couldn't help but ask with emotion: "How did you become friends with Snape?"

Hearing this, Lily put down the book in her hand.She looked at Lynn, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, but in the end, she said, "Lynn, you don't know, Severus is proud by nature, but he was born in a family where his parents were at odds. You haven't seen him before he came to Hogwarts, and his father's tyrannical look. Everyone said that he was gloomy and unapproachable, but I think it was his childhood experience that made him not know how to get close to others. Under such circumstances, he is still so kind to me. When I am his best friend, I can't accept his favor. What's more, he was the first to tell me that I am a wizard. I will not enter the magic world without knowing anything. I will always remember this kindness in my heart. I shouldn't have said this to you. After all, those things about the Sif family are his privacy. I never mentioned these things in front of me. But I hope that there is one more person who treats him sincerely. He is really too withdrawn. Now I know how whimsical it is for him to make friends with Mary and the others, but you and him are one House, I want you to be friends and take care of each other in Slytherin."

This is the first time Lily talked about Snape with Lynn in such a serious way, so Lynn's attitude became more serious: "That's why you forgive him again and again, even if he calls your roommate a mudblood, it's just How many days did you ignore him?"

Lily smiled bitterly: "Lynn, I... can't be cruel, and I can't bear it. I know the atmosphere in Slytherin, and it's inevitable that he will pick up some bad habits, but if I didn't persuade him from the sidelines, Instead, I only care about being angry with him and let him do whatever he wants. Wouldn’t I call myself his friend in vain? Anyway, after I persuaded him a few times, I hardly heard him say that word anymore.”

Lynn really thought about it.She looked at Lily with a strange expression and said, "That was in front of you, in the Slytherin lounge. He said that word so slipperily."

Lily's face darkened immediately.

Lin En was conflicted for a while, but in the end he still felt hesitant to vomit: "Lily, I didn't mean to provoke the relationship between you and him. You and him are childhood sweethearts. There must be many good memories that I don't know before. After listening to his I really feel sorry for him. But Lily, after all, you are my friend, not him, so I can only care about you first. Have you ever thought that even if he doesn’t say the word Mudblood in front of you, It doesn't mean he doesn't think so in his heart, he looks down on Muggle-born people from the bottom of his heart, so what's the difference with you? He is treating you well now, but he doesn't spend as much time with you as he does with us Those students who believe in pure blood in the college stay together for a long time, what if one day he also calls you a mudblood?"

Lily's face suddenly turned pale, she shook her head desperately, and murmured: "No, no...Sev wouldn't treat me like this..."

Hearing the lack of confidence in Lily's tone, Lynn sighed helplessly.

The temperature in the classroom was almost freezing.

After a long silence, Lily spoke again: "Lin En, I don't know, I dare not think about it, and I can't even imagine such a scene. If... If there is such a day..." Her voice trembled slightly , as if just imagining is also a kind of desecration of their friendship, "That may prove that our friendship has reached the point where it cannot be maintained. But at least now, I still regard him as my best friend, I think , as long as he doesn't... I will always treat him as a friend."

Lin En looked at Lily's calm face at last, and could only sigh slightly in his heart.This is Lily and Snape's matter, she shouldn't have been too involved in it, but her current behavior has crossed the line.She had also been vaccinated, and she only hoped that Snape would not be such a jerk in the end, living up to Lily's expectations of him.

So this topic is over.

Afterwards, Lynn mentioned to Lily about inviting her to join Avalon, and Lily seemed very hesitant.The reason: "Avalon" has Sirius, the "enemy" she shares with Severus.

"Sirius isn't that bad, is he? He and Snape had a feud, but he's still a pretty good person when he's not facing Snape."

"You actually said that Black is a good person?!" Lily raised her eyebrows immediately, "No, you've been mentioning Black lately. Be honest, you have nothing to do with him, right?"

"What are you talking about? What about that? Sirius and I are just friends, just like you and Snape are friends." Lynn seemed extremely calm and said, "Actually... invite you to join, yes For others, it is because you are suitable, but I have some selfishness. Last vacation, I told you that I was researching the bloodline tracker. In fact, I have always hoped to research that with the members of Avalon. But now, the only ones who know I'm from a Muggle family are you, Snape, and Sirius, oh, and Mary. I'm still not sure how much these members of our group support blood theory, and I'm afraid to mention Something about blood would make them suspicious of me. You know, if word of that sort of thing gets out, I'm afraid life in Slytherin won't be as easy as it is now. But if there's a Muggle that everyone knows People from the family appear in Avalon, and you can probably make some judgments based on their attitude towards this person." Lynn didn't say the part about Sirius worrying about his brother, after all, it belonged to the Black family housework.

"So, you want me to be the touchstone?" Lily looked at Lin En with emerald green eyes and asked, the transparent eyes suddenly made Lin En feel guilty: I was naked/naked/naked Make good use of Lily.

So she said uncomfortably: "Yes... Lily, I know I'm using you like this, but I..."

Lily hurriedly interrupted Lynn: "What are you talking about? If you don't tell me this, you're taking advantage of it. You've already told me. You just asked me to help. Besides, joining a research group is also good for me."

"So you agreed?" Lynn asked happily.

Lily nodded, and then said sadly: "Oh, Blake... I hope I join you, and stop being said that I want to get close to Blake. I'm really fed up with his scandal!"

Thinking of the completely unreliable scandals last year, Lynn also felt sympathetic to Lily, and she said coyly, "Actually... Sirius is very sorry for you because of this."

Lily cried out immediately: "Is he sorry? Of course he should be sorry! Does he know..."

At this moment, the door opened suddenly, Snape walked in with big strides, and asked, "Who is sorry?"

"Of course you are sorry." Lynn said quickly, "You came here at this time, and the curfew is about to come."

"It's not that Malfoy idiot!" Snape said indignantly, annoyed that Lynn was yelling at him like this.He was already angry with Malfoy, should he still be angry with Bruce when he comes back? "Such a simple potion can cause the cauldron to explode! I just haven't looked at her for 5 minutes!"

Lynn and Lily looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Anyway, there is only so little time left, and we should go back when the water boils. That's it for today." Lynn said.

Snape, on the other hand, was obviously very unhappy about leaving when he first arrived: "If you want to go, you can go, as long as Lily and I stay and study."

Lynn knew that Snape and Lily sometimes ignored the curfew when they were studying potions, so they could only say: "Okay, I'll go back first, don't stay up too late, and be careful of Primrose when you go back." (1)."

"Understood, long-winded." Snape muttered.

*****seven days later******

Lynn stood in front of the mirror in the dormitory and made mental construction for himself: You were invited by Lily to ease the atmosphere just in case, not to quarrel with Snape, not to quarrel with Snape, not to quarrel with Snape Nep quarreled...

Avril looked at her and asked with a strange expression: "What are you going to do? Why do you feel like you are going to the battlefield?"

Lin En replied with a wry smile: "Oh, I hope it won't really become a 'battlefield'..."

It started when Lynn received a letter from Lily the day after he invited Lily.

The letter is as follows:

[Lyn, I want to ask you one thing.It's my birthday in six days, and I usually spend my birthdays with Severus, but my roommates Mary and Alison told me last night they wanted to celebrate me that night.I didn't want to take away their kindness, and I didn't want to leave Sif, so I could only bring everyone together.I want to use this opportunity to improve their relationship, but I'm afraid that Sev and Mary will quarrel, so I want to invite you to come too. If something happens, you can help me ease the atmosphere.Of all my friends, you and Snape get along pretty well.

Looking forward to your reply]

To be honest, Lynn almost spit pumpkin juice out of his mouth when he read Lily's letter, especially the sentence "You and Snape get on well".Where did Lily get the idea that she and Snape got along well?That guy Snape obviously doesn't recognize anyone except Lily himself!Every time she participated in their potion improvement activities, Snape acted like she owed him a hundred thousand galleons, and satirized her poor potion practice without hesitation, and she also Snape, who was smashed with advanced potion theory, blushed and had a thick neck.If it wasn't for Lily's face, she and Snape might have broken up long ago.

In this case, Lily also said "you and Snape get on well", so how badly did Snape get along with Lily's other friends?

Lynn suddenly felt that his shoulders were heavy.

Lynn and Lily's two roommates arrived almost at the same time. After introducing themselves to each other, they got busy with the decoration in the room.Alison took out a large red-and-gold tablecloth from her bag and spread it on the table with Lynn, and Mary took out a vase, put a bouquet of fresh lilies in it, and put a "floral bouquet" on it. "Overflowing" mantra, the pure fragrance of lily flowers immediately lingered in the whole room.

"This spell is amazing, I've never heard of it before." Lynn said in surprise.

Mary was a little embarrassed, but Alison said with a smile: "It was invented by Guspard. He is Mary's boyfriend. It is because of this spell that Mary was captured by little Gus."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mary blushed because of Alison's teasing.

Lynn had always thought that Mary was a carefree and boyish person, but he never expected that she would have such a girlish side.

"Ah, so it was invented by my boyfriend, so I don't have a chance to learn it?" Lin En asked with a smile.

"Lyn, do you want to learn? This spell is actually very simple, it's actually..."

Before Mary could finish speaking, the door of the room was opened, and Snape stood outside the door with a gloomy face.

The three girls were taken aback when they saw this.

Lynn was the first to react: "Snape, you are here, why are you standing at the door? Come in quickly."

Snape closed the door, walked over slowly, with a look of being poked blind: "This is not your Gryffindor lounge, why put such a red tablecloth, it's so ugly!"

"I don't think there's any problem with it. For birthdays, it's natural to have a more festive color." Alison, who has a quarter of Chinese descent, said.

"That's right. Besides, Lily is a Gryffindor, so she doesn't use red, but silver-green? You are the only one who thinks the tablecloth is ugly, and the minority obeys the majority, so you can just let it go." Mary echoed.

Upon hearing this, Snape looked at Lynn: "Bruce, tell me, isn't this tablecloth ugly?"

Lynn caressed her forehead in her heart: Snape, it's fine if you like to offend others, but now you want to force me to offend others?Didn't you look down on me in the past?Are you going to respect my opinion now? ! ! !

"Um... I think it's okay. Although it's red, it's not bright red, but water red. This color is festive, but it's also soft. It's not as bad as you said, right?" Lynn tried to smooth things over.

Snape obviously didn't expect that Lynn, who was born in Slytherin, would have the same taste as the "stupid lions" of Gryffindor. He called out in disbelief: "Bruce, are you still a Slytherin?" Self-awareness?!"

Lynn was not happy: "I like water red, why am I not as self-conscious as Slytherin? Could it be said that Slytherin has such a school rule that "you are not allowed to like water red"?"

Snape: "You...you are arguing! We are Slytherins, so naturally we should maintain the silver-green status!"

"Puchi..." Alison couldn't help laughing, she felt that these words were so pretentious, "Come on, this is not a semester dinner, and it's still a silver-green status." She suppressed a funny look Said the middle school boy in front of him.

"That's right," Mary also echoed, her tone much more aggressive than Alison's, "If you really can't understand our Gryffindor taste, you can go out, we didn't ask you to come."

"You think I'd like to be with you? If it wasn't for Lily, I wouldn't have to endure you stinky Mudbloods!"

"What did you say?!" As soon as Snape finished speaking, Mary and Alison immediately stretched out their wands, pointing at Snape together.

"What, you still want to fight like Black and me? With your level, don't get beaten black and blue by me, and then complain to Lily that I bullied you." Snape said desperately.

Looking at the tense atmosphere, Lin En sighed inwardly. "Okay, okay, it's just for a tablecloth, how come it's such a serious duel?" She hurried forward to fulfill the task Lily gave her, "For Lily, everyone take a step back, okay? Pu, no matter what, you shouldn't say that word, and don't forget that Lily hates you saying that word the most."

Snape's face became as ugly as bad milk again, but in the end he didn't say a word, he turned and walked to the chair in the corner. After sitting down, he took out a potions book and read it, ignoring the three people in the room. girls.

Lynn felt that Snape had completely embarrassed Slytherin, she turned her head and gave Mary and Alison a helpless look in apology.

Fortunately, for Lily's sake, the two Gryffindor girls didn't bother Snape to make him apologize.

It was impossible to count on Snape to help decorate the room. This small disturbance delayed a lot of time, so the three girls continued the work just now, and finally finished the entire room layout at [-]:[-] .Now, the ceiling here is filled with colorful balloons, and on the table in the middle of the room, there is a big chocolate cake.Everything is ready, just waiting for Lily to appear.

"There are still 10 minutes. I will go out first. When I knock on the door three times, you will know that Lily and I are coming in, and then we will sing birthday songs together." Alison said, and went out to pick Lily up.

As soon as Alison left, Snape, who had been growing mushrooms in the corner, appeared again to show his presence: "Birthday song? Why are you singing? It's not vulgar."

"Yes, we are all ordinary people. I really feel wronged that you, a god, stay with us ordinary people. If you don't want to sing, don't sing. It's fine for me and Lynn to sing. Lily will be here soon, and I don't want to quarrel with you. said Mary in a bad tone.She thought to herself, this Snape doesn't do any work and has so many fucking problems!

Just then, there was a knock on the door...

*****************

It can be said that this birthday party went smoothly at the beginning, until...

"Oh, I obviously put the candle in the bag, why is it gone?" Alison turned the bag upside down, but there was no trace of the birthday candle.

"Don't worry, isn't there a match here? Let's turn the match into a candle." Lily comforted.She raised her wand and was about to transform the match when Snape sneered, "You're not happy to say you're an idiot. You can lose a candle. What else can you do?"

"Alright, Snape, it's not a big deal. If you have time to complain, you might as well transform Lily." Lynn said with a slight frown.

"Of course I want to help Lily, otherwise Lily can count on those two idiots?" Snape groaned.

Lily also frowned when she heard this: "Sev, don't say that about Mary and Alison, they are my friends."

"Lily, I really don't understand what you're thinking. What's so good about making friends like this? One or two heads are like being stepped on by a troll, and the simplest potion for treating hemorrhoids can also make the cauldron explode. With you, see how tacky the arrangement in this room is, I could have had a good birthday for you, but now they have disturbed it." Snape said loudly, the anger in his voice soaring to the sky.

"That's enough! Snape!" Mary jumped up impatiently, "Since you stepped into this room, you've been dissatisfied with this place, and you've been dissatisfied with that too. I thought you'd restrain yourself when Lily came, but You are getting worse! Are you trying to make me and Alison look bad, or Lily look bad?!"

"You don't understand people's words, do you? You messed up Lily and I's arrangement. Lily doesn't care about you, I don't care about you, I don't have that much tolerance. People are self-aware. If you are so stupid, don't come one day. Hang on to Lily!" Snape was not to be outdone.

After hearing Snape's words, Mary's eyes widened. She turned to look at Lily and asked, "Lily, is what Snape said true? Don't you want us to help you celebrate your birthday? If it is In that case, Alison and I will leave now, there is no need to stay here to make people feel disgusted!"

"Of course not, of course not," Lily was on the verge of crying anxiously, "Severus...he said angry words, don't forget to take it to heart...Sev, what's wrong with you, didn't you say yes? In order to use this opportunity to ease the relationship, how do you..."

Snape folded his arms over his chest and said sullenly, "I tried, but I couldn't."

Lily stared at Snape with wide eyes, the emerald-like transparent green was soaked with a trace of water vapor.

Lynn couldn't stand it anymore: "Snape, everyone is Lily's friend, Mary and Alison are still Lily's roommates, why...why make things difficult for Lily?"

"I'm embarrassing Lily? It's obviously those two Mudbloods who embarrass Lily, okay?!" Snape shouted without hesitation.

The room fell silent with Snape's "Mudblood", and both Lily and Lynn looked at Snape in disbelief.

After a long time, Alison's tired voice broke the silence: "Lily, before coming here, Mary and I have told ourselves countless times that today is your birthday, so we must not conflict with Snape in front of you." , but I didn't expect things to turn out like this. At this point, I don't think we need to be patient with each other anymore. You heard it, what Snape just called us. Mary and I are not so holy, we are both Pointing your nose and cursing, you smiled at him. We don’t want to embarrass you, in order to avoid a bigger conflict, I think Mary and I should go first.” After speaking, Alison took Mary’s arm and opened the door and went out.

Lily wanted to chase out, but Snape grabbed her from behind.

Seeing this, Lynn sighed: "Lily, I think you should have something to talk to Snape, I think I should go first."

"Lyn..." Lily's voice was crying.

"Don't worry, I'm just... just going to explain to Mary and the others for you, at least let them know that you don't treat them as Snape said."

"Thank you..." Lily murmured.

Lynn patted Lily's hand lightly, signaling her not to care.Before leaving, she looked back at Snape again, and finally couldn't help but say what was in her heart: "Lily, sometimes, blindly compromising can't solve the problem."

After finishing speaking, Snape shot her a dissatisfied eye knife, Lynn shook his head and walked out of the room.

That night, Lynn lay on the bed, "chatting" with Marceline.

"Avril, you say, what if there's a boy who's on good terms with a girl, but that boy has a bad relationship with every single friend of that girl's, and it looks like he's trying to put those friends on purpose? To offend light, what do you think he is trying to do?"

Marceline was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by Lynn's question: "Basically, that boy fell in love with that girl, and he wanted to defend his ownership. Wait...Which boy loves that girl?" Is it up to you?"

"I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about a friend of mine."

Avril was full of disbelief.

"Really, I didn't lie to you. Besides, the boy offended was the girl's female friend. No matter how I think about it, I don't think it has anything to do with being jealous. "

"Female friend? Then I can only say that the boy's possessiveness has become abnormal to a certain extent." Marceline curled her lips and said.

Lynn was speechless.
